    Dang! For $79.00 looks like a decent 3” to rip around (or as a starter). Flew surprisingly well for the price. Thanks for the review! 👍👍

    I have a Baby Ape Pro on order, got it for CDN$118. It'll be my first outdoor rig. The Caddx Ant is a significant upgrade; I run it on my indoor whoops and I like its performance. I'm going to install a CDN$39 Happymodel 300mW VTX/ELRS receiver board with a CDN$13 HGLRC lollipop antenna. I plan to get a CDN$72 RunCam Thumb, and install a set of LDARC 1104 7500 kV motors on it [I have them on hand], and run it as a 2S cine-rig, using 600 mAh packs. At under CDN$250, it's a dirt-cheap way of getting me some stabilised HD footage, that's for sure. Seeing your results, I feel pretty good about the upcoming flying season. . .

    Hi my friend. I've been playing around with nanos lately and they keep burning out the escs, so this looks like a good alternative at half the price of most comparable tiny quads. I had assumed it wouldn't be viable due to price but after your review I think I was mistaking. Thanks again Rimzler.

    • @gregorydahl
      @gregorydahl Před rokem +1

      When you crash disarm your motors immediately because if the grass or plants keep the props from turning motors and esc's can burn out or melt .
      You can limit throttle in betaflight rates and pids settings .limit throttle to 75% might help it last forever longer .

    • @KOrnhOliO1
      @KOrnhOliO1 Před 2 lety +1

      Ha ha ha, cheapest parts burn out or fail quick, making you spend more on replacement parts, making this cost more than the name brand quad that does fail or have long downtimes from waiting for parts. Simply a bad investment because of extremely high failure rate of parts!
      Name brand quads cost more up front, but last longer and are actually cheaper over the first year or two of ownership! 😎🤘

      I know this comment was a year ago but almost any slim/thin 20x20 vtx will work with this drone. My favorite upgrade was the AKK FX3 ultimate for about $20 I doubled my range and confidence. Also the mmcx connector is much more durable than the ufl connector the stock vtx comes with.
